But Jordan has now rejected this notion, and suggested that the United leadership have simply been unable to attract a suitable coach to match their ambitions.“I understand the reasons why they wanted to review all the confected outrage during the summer about how long it was taking them to review it. He wasn't their appointment.
Jordan continued: "The bottom line is, if you look at Manchester United as a football club, as an operation, and you say to us in all seriousness, with a serious face, that you cannot find someone better in the world of football, then there's something wrong with what you're selling."Jordan said: "With due respect to Dave Brailsford, this is the blind leading the deaf.
“For someone as accomplished as he is and as successful as he is in his field, I felt that some of the things that he was saying were strange, naive and uninformed."Souness pointed to the number of signings made during ten Hag's tenure who have previously been coached by him, including“It's not all just about the manager.
